Bring Back The Technology Section

Re: Bring Back The Technology Section

technology is 1 word that fits all the things in this forum.

computers, hi-fi and mp3 players is a group of words that doesn't get the job done in full.

technology seems more collective, who calls a stereo a hi-fi anyway ?

old people

it's the name of a forum on an almost defunct and bitter clubbing messageboard in the stag capital of the world - step away from the keyboards and go sit in the garden with a drink and a cig it'll be alright

ALMOST FUCKING DEFUNCT !!!!?!?!?!


in the words on max 'hoooow daarre yowwww'

like clubbing, this place needs 'new blood' too if it's to keep going - so bring them on! 90% of the posts on here at the moment are you 2 talking shite

the reason there's no 'fresh blood' here is because the first post from someone is usually torn to pieces by the regulars. noobs are given no chance at all. the reg's think its funny, but the noob doesnt know how to take the bashing/sarcasm/public hanging and never returns.

the reason there is no fresh blood in clubbing is because its boring. the same thing has been done over and over again for 20 years and its fucked. dj wants to play out/ lad wants to throw a party. hire a room. book a famous-ish dj/ print flyers. turn up (pray others do too). thats it. thats the basic formula. nobody in the last 10 years (apart from a select few) have done anything different to make the "night of entertainment" special - other than hang a wooden sign in front of the decks stating what the "night" is called. (like mobile disco's have been doing to hide the cables since the 70's)

Shindig is without doubt the big night of the north east. but from an amateurs point of view, they book a dj, hang up the signs in the main room and open the doors. unfortunately, to any new promoters, that's all they think they need to do. so, that format is carried on.

nobody has pushed the envelope in so long its no wonder clubbing has so many cynical and bitter members. the crazy shit from the early 90's, fire breathers, stilt walkers, festival/cabaret shit might be a daft idea now, but when was the last time you heard of any out the box thinking to keep punters engaged in a night?

in recent times, i'd say that has died down a little. except for the 'charver' invasion from ultimatebuzz.

yes, and just look at what's slipped through the net lol

Id imagine most forums are quiet now because of Facebook/MySpace allowing people to keep in touch with their mates.

that's a valid point, Si

nar - just my opinion.

it's been worse - but it's better days are behind us! Also, most independant forums have to fund their server/bandwidth costs ot keep it running - we dont, we're at Rob's good grace that it's still running

tell me about it - i still live here and would hate to see it go!!!!!

Currently, the left hand banners (general ads) are google ads so they contribute towards runnings costs ( i think) BUT the local night banners (right hand side) don't pay anymore. it kinda got difficult to manage and more trouble than it's worth administering it.
